HTML:

###SOMETHINGBOLD###

TS-Template:

page.10.marks {
    SOMETHINGBOLD = TEXT
    SOMETHINGBOLD {
        value = <em>Or another text</em>
        override.field = title
        override.wrap = <b>|</b>
    }
}

Doesn't look very complicated to me.

The only difference is, that the smarty approach is using parts of the logic
inside the HTML template which is no good idea, since usually HTML files are
produced by designers whithout much programming experience.
